Every criminal in the East is tagged ESN. But in the North, Boko Haram members, even their repentant ones, are different from other criminals in the North. This biased and sentimental analysis cannot solve any problem.

Stand your ground. Resist being bullied and attack the OP. Don't compare please.
We've passed that stage.

OyigboUpdate:
According to Ijelespeaks in the comment section the one on yellow is an ESN vagabond

The comments you posted yourself?
The story was about Cultists. Maybe you think Igboland is a myth that doesn't exist or the place doesn't have members on nairaland.

Imagine reporting about Igboland from Abuja. Lol, the days of stupidity have passed.

The report says cultist but the idiot created the thread as ESN.

sotall:
By the time the West finish dealing with Russia, even China will not recognize them.

Have you seen their own counter sanctions on your media?
Have you asked yourself why USA is not as loud as before?

Oga Russia is a producer not consumer. That vast land is holding European Union by the balls.
This is a face off between Producers (Russia, China, Iran) vs Consumers (USA, Britain and France)

Tomek09:
Thank you so much Bkayy. Time for rubbish and useless narrative is over. We have many issues confronting SouthEast to tackle than this.

Yes my dear. We have more pressing issues than to worry about bunch of Efulefus in Lagos.
Those that derive pleasure in demonising the Igbo culture on social media. They normally start with "I am Igbo but.."

And these bunch of Afonjas that not being able to speak Yoruba is the difference between their lower class and middle class want us to help the grave minority of Igbo HATERS in Lagos learn Igbo. Maybe so that their mission of destabilising Igboland with those Efulefus to be complete but they don't know what is coming.

Not being able to speak Igbo in Lagos shows those that value their heritage and those that don't. Those that don't are grave minority in that Lagos and they make up 99% of the anti-Igbo culture comments you see on Social media with Igbo sounding names. The remaining 1% are just Afonjas doing their normal hating

ObamaMessi:
Little boy, get outta my mention.U have explained and reiterated how many times u experienced ur mum.I also never knew, untill when u Xplained.And I dnt knw that u are a cockroach.

You also do the worthless dog you all mother?
Geez... This is getting interesting.
Tell me more

ObamaMessi:
You want to prove stubborn, right? I'll take up ur case myself.And by the time I finish with u, ur worthless mum will beg me to leave u alone.I have better things to do now so I dnt have ur time.

Was it hyena or warthog that you used to describe the experience you had with your mum?
No I think it is "dog", yes dog was the word.

Although she is a dog, I never knew she was worthless as well. You should have included it in your last comment so that it will save you the stress of reiterating.

Bloody Cockroach. You growing up with a worthless dog as a mother doesn't come as a surprise to me, it shows in all your comments.

ObamaMessi:
Idiot.Again, out of my mention!

I said before, always do a background check on the handle you intend to pour your frustration.

I can see that you still have a breathing space left. Well, they say cockroaches show a lot of tenacity.
Bloody fool, it's like you want to cry more

ObamaMessi:
I'm not ur fellow idiot.I dnt want to finish u that is why I'm warning u before coz if provoke me, the war in ukraine will be child's play.

Hahahahaha.. OK I understand

ObamaMessi:
I say get out of my mention u useless stinking son of a bastard.

Lol, You qouted me first my dear Idiot. My comments are mere replies to your misery.

Next time, know the kind of handle you intend to pour your frustration on

ObamaMessi:
Chuckles.I pity fools who lunatic parent begot like this scumbag am quoting.Born in idiocy and ignorance and raised in foolishness and poverty.U just prove that ur harlot mother's bride price was a waste if at all the dog that messed her dirty smelling vagina presented any herb in respect to that.And untill u can define DESTINY, get otta my mention, I COMMANB YOU!

You could have described your mother without including all the details.

Only deep experience can make this kind of spotless description. You were such an observing son

helinues:
I have actually been struggling with your arguments, more like they have no basis.

Wizkid is old generation at what age?

We have what they call "Gen Z"

Are you sure you are exposed at all?
Hope you know what Gen Z means

helinues:
@ emboldened again, my experience no be even for Nigeria self..

So I didn't read the rest.

Lazy to read? What a black stereotype.

helinues:
I am not saying they are not making use of Igbo dialects at all but you can't compared it with let say Wizkid which In almost all his songs, there must be a new Yoruba words/terms .

Both of them have also used Yoruba words in their music nwhich are also popular and trend.

Wizkid is old generation. Yorubas problem right now is having their middle class and upper class that live in Lagos speak Yoruba.

helinues:
Laughing hysterically...

If Lagos or other SW states are not already developed, your people won't be coming. And if you people relocate back to your region, that won't still stop the development of SW states.

It's only derision which is just to massage egos of some people.. We have no issue with that as long that makes them sleep better at night.

It is quite interesting that you are overwhelmed by the few Igbo you see in Lagos. Probably because you are threatened.

Well your concern shouldn't be about the number of Ndigbo in Lagos but the number of Yorubas left in their ancestral Yoruba states. Of all the regions in Nigeria, we know the one that looks abandoned with no remittance or anything. Just abandoned for herdsmen to graze freely.

ObamaMessi:
Dont mind that stupid boy.u are way above him in every spere.What do he call himself? BKayy ko na him mama yansh ni.

I think I hit a nerve.

As for follow up. Always remember that what you are passing through is your destiny in life.

helinues:
The Igbo worship song is globally, most especially the chosen generation song that is even been played at club self.

Talking about Psquare, Teckno, are you saying they do not understand Igbo local dialect? Why is hard for them to incorporate Igbo local dialects into their music?

Imagine if there are 10's of Phyno Injecting Igbo local dialects into their music with consistency.. People would be encouraged to learn it

Psquare and Tekno are two examples that being born outside Igboland is not an excuse because they were born at extreme ends of the contraption.

Secondly if there was an element of truth in what you people are saying, you wouldn't be worried about Igbo taking over lagos.

It is quite funny how you people like deceiving yourselves like your fake statistics in Nigeria.

ObamaMessi:
No one needs ur attention.ur attention doesn't mean anything.The aim of someone quoting u is to make sure he gets his msg accross to u.The fact that u think someone mention u is to get ur useless attention makes u a big fat fool. A useless bastard with no self-esteem coming online to chestbeat.I pity the LovePeddler that begot u.

If you think coming online to find solace from the frustration life is giving you then you are mistaking.
The depression you are facing is out of the joint generational curse following the LovePeddler you call mother.

It is natural that after her frustrating life as a cum dumpsite, you are designed to walk the face of the earth, frustrated, rejected by nature and bound to suffer as you are going through until you decide to end it yourself.

Remain in misery.

helinues:
To answer your question, only the priest can give satisfactory reason why he banned Igbo worship songs in his branch.. Not in any position to answer that as I ain't fan of any religion..

For the Igbo worship song to be too much for a foreigner to handle in Lagos shows how much Ndigbo hold their language outside Igbo land, especially in Lagos.

Fun fact, Tekno and Psquare didn't grow up in Igboland.

helinues:
See, don't make this discussion tribalistic cos this thread is a sincere thread .

Why are Igbo's local dialects are fading away?

Answer my question in the other comment.
One thing is to start a propaganda, another is to back it up.

helinues:
You are not addressing the issue apart from shifting goal post.

In all tribes in Nigeria, to my best of understanding oo, Igbo's are the ones who speak less of their local dialect even when they are within each other.

The Igbo parents have neglected teaching their wards local dialect which is making the situation detoriating yearly.

I have lived amongst Igbo's before, except people from the same state,town or community, if Igbo's of different community or state converge together, they hardly speak local dialect but English. It's something I have also observed for quite some time

If your ascertion is true why did the Priest in Lagos ban Igbo worship songs in his church?
Remember he also claimed to have done the same in Bini.

Your answer please?

helinues:
The Yoruba's left the English language speaking to the school, teachers but at home and community, is something you must understand even if not residing in Nigeria .

Take music for example, Igbo artist can incorporate Igbo language into different genre of music just as Phyno is doing.

In other words, you have accepted English language as the only language of the modern Yoruba Upper class in Lagos.

I didn't expect less of an Afonja. Unlike your people, our own tackle any issue when it is still growing.
As for this thread, it is only an exaggeration. There is no cause for alarm.
The very few that decided not to learn Igbo in Lagos did so out of their own free will. They are just passing blames in their adult hood after they realised that Igboland don't give a fvck about them. They are known as Efulefu

Igboid:
Also Igbos tend to band together.
In the sense that we look for a particular part of foreign city we find ourselves in and form an Igbo community there where all your neighbors would be Igbo and you could hear Igbo being spoken even in the streets.

I think it's not actually a problem.
It's being exaggerated.

I remember when I stayed in that their Lagos, the lingua Franca in all the neighbourhood my people stay and do business is Igbo so I don't understand the OP.

Lagos is not an excuse. We know of Igbo communities in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Philippines, Cambodia, China etc, so where is the excuse?

Ordinary Lagos? The same Lagos that Yorubas are complaining of Igbo domination?
The same Lagos a priest banned Igbo gospel songs in his parish?

Mtcheww... I don't understand some people.

Igboid:
I have relatives born and raised in USA who speak impeccable Igbo.

I think it's more of a problem with Igbos raised in non Igbo parts of NIGERIA than Igbos in outside NIGERIA.

I discuss with my cousin (2nd generation in England) in Igbo. He detests speaking English with his Igbo relatives.

So I don't see any single excuse here.

helinues:
Can we address the issue about the language first before talking about self independent

You should be focused about speaking only English being the difference between an average Yoruba and Yoruba kids born in Lagos Island.

We all know so before you look for a spec in Igbo eyes, remove the Iroko tree in your eye.

I don't see any reason for this thread. The sad reality is that the few that can't speak Igbo because they were born in ordinary Lagos are even grave minority compared to those born within that Lagos that can speak Igbo.

I have noticed that most Efulefus like to make their personal problem a national one. The fact that you personally can't speak Igbo because you were born in Lagos doesn't mean that you should broadcast something that you should be ashamed of as of it affects others who can speak the language.

If I am to rate the ratio of those born in Lagos that can speak Igbo to those born in that same lagos that can't, I will say that it is 15:1 in Igbo favour.

If you doubt it, create another thread to ascertain the ratio, then you will find out why I say that those that cannot speak Igbo should just keep quiet and get lost.

They made their choice

rdokoye:
It's about needs. Despite popular beliefs, there aren't that many Igbo people living outside of Igboland. So learning Igbo is rendered almost pointless, by the mere fact that you'll rarely, if ever, use the language, outside of your immediate household.

There are far more Yoruba migrants; just come to the UK, and in the USA, they now outnumber Igbo people.

Mtcheww... Nkọgheri.

Yorubas complain of their kids born in Lagos (their supposedly backyard) not knowing how to speak Yoruba. Especially those born in high brow areas of Lagos.

Remember "Mummy Calm Down" kid? The biggest concern of the Yoruba nationalists in the video was the ability of the kid to speak fluent Yoruba.
... and that was in Lagos, So don't tell me nonsense

Goodmarlian:
Yorubas and hausa promote their language better.

Don't play that card. It doesn't work on Ndigbo any longer.
If those Efulefu in Lagos decided not to learn Igbo, then we have no option than to consider them lost.

The Igbo nation have passed the stage of blackmail. Once they step into Igboland or any Igbo affair outside Igboland, they will be reminded without remorse that they are Efulefus. People with no nation.

Totilopussylick:
The reason is because the Igbo language are different languages

If you go Anambra state they speak different Igbo language

Same in all the states

The thread didn't talk about Yoruba Language

Goodmarlian:
But it's not their fault they were born there,they didn't choose to their parents migrated there in search for greener pastures,my late dad migrated to Lagos after the end of the civil war in 1972.

They are a huge/grave minority.
Don't complicate things or worry yourself for nothing.

BTW, they have no excuse. No single excuse at all not to understand Igbo because we have people born and bred outside Africa that understand Igbo perfectly. Some are even on this forum.
So no excuse.

PressMyButton:
Mr chestbeater, you don't come off any differently from your usual bumptiousness. There are over 10 African Countries sitting pretty ontop a trillion cubic of gas reserves. And when we talk about Nigeria, the first port of call are Delta and Bayelsa. As we speak, we can't be bothered about the lighter of gas you have at your backyard as long as others have it much more in abundance. Same goes for your cup of crude oil, it comes with the lowest quantity and the lowest amount of production.

[/s]
My attention is not for fools

Your Lagos crew should come down to Igboland and speak English.
Tell them to just try it.

The word "Efulefu" exists for a reason. They are gone. We move.
No need crying over spilt milk
